Galatians 5:16-23 teaches that at any moment we are either walking by the Holy Spirit or according to the sin nature. Walking by the Spirit, enjoying fellowship with God, walking in the light are virtually synonymous. During these times, the Holy Spirit is working in us to illuminate our minds to the truth of Scripture and to challenge us to apply what we learn. But when we sin, we begin to live based on the sin nature. Our works do not count for eternity. The only way to recover is to confess (admit, acknowledge) our sin to God the Father and we are instantly forgiven, cleansed, and recover our spiritual walk (1 John 1:9). Please make sure you are walking by the Spirit before you begin your Bible study, so it will be spiritually profitable.

Over and over like a dog gnawing on a bone, our minds chew on problems and the evils we see all around us. Sometimes it makes us angry and at other times we envy those who seem to sail through life as they ignore God. Listen to this lesson to see how David’s Psalm shows us God’s solution to this condition. Find out how important it is to turn your focus off your troubles on to God and His promises. See what the results of committing your way unto the Lord are and find out what it means for God to give you the desires of your heart.
